I've built the Camaro plenty of times, can't get it formatted the way I want. The most power with the least non performacne related options isn't available. As nice as the turbo 4 sounds as a platform it doesn't appeal to me knowing a few hundred more HP can be optioned.

As far as business, there are a lot of ways to make money. Not all require on being all things for all people or making everyone take whatever is supposed to be popular. Across brands and across time there are piles of examples of car companies eliminating features from cars and in many cases people even paying more for the honor. You can look at the old MOPAR Neon ACR program or the recent lines of Lambo lightweights, history shows there is a market for building performance cars with less other stuff.
